TABLE OF CONTENTS
Welcome to Safety.
Adventure has its place, but not in your offshore technology
strategy. As you work to achieve greater IT efficiency and expand
your resources through offshoring, you are also seeking a safe
haven from the many storms that can affect the marketplace
from economic crises and political unrest to business corruption
and talent shortages.
Harvey Nash has spent roughly 10 years cultivating two world-class
offshore safe havens in Vietnam, a country that has become one
of the decades greatest economic development success stories,
a land of growing innovation and the home to a young, rapidly
expanding and technically gifted workforce.
Together, Harvey Nash and Vietnam offer a secure, experienced
and proven offshore solution in a world of uncertainty. Our
SafeHaven program, outlined in detail in this article, offers
businesses with struggling offshore projects and partnerships
a safe, secure and successful migration to a Harvey Nash
Offshore Center of Excellence. I invite you to read, learn and

OFFSHORE SKILL SUMMARY
Second Generation Offshore Software Outsourcing - From Uncertainty to Security
Harvey Nash Insight | P5
The next several pages of this article outline in detail the full
breadth of methodologies, tools, processes and reporting
systems the SafeHaven migration can offer. However, each is
carefully tailored to the business, technology and service
requirements of the client. We want you to know how
extensive and intensive our offshore processes can be, but
also understand that we are flexible in customizing the size
and scope of solutions to your specific needs.
Methods & Tools
Our baseline methodology is the Rational Unified Process (RUP),
but whatever software development lifecycle youve adopted
we will be able to support it. We are fully conversant with
DSDM, Agile and the waterfall methodologies. We are used to
working with adaptations of all these methods. For project
management, our main skills are in PRINCE2, PMBOK and Scrum.
We use a number of off-the-shelf and custom tools to help
monitor, control, improve and report on the quality of our
projects. Tools include a mix of commercial packages, like MS
Project, Microsoft Team Foundation Server, IBMs Rational and
custom systems for issue tracking and defect management.
Independent Quality Management & Testing
We assure quality software development through:
A combination of robust yet flexible processes.
The utilization of fully integrated tools.
A culture of delivering excellence.
A proven execution approach.
Our achievement of the highest internationally recognizedaccreditations.
A commitment to continual improvement.
Our Quality Management
System (QMS) underpins
our software development,
configuration and project
management activities.
Embedded in these
processes are tools that
support the tracking,
monitoring and
management of processes
with appropriate and instantaneous information. We constantly
strive for practical improvements through a program of
measurement, analysis and refinement.
Requirements & Design
Our engagement model is designed to meet the challenges of
software development involving a foreign country. We deliver
projects using an onshore-offshore model. We project manage
locally and involve local onshore teams in business analysis, but
leverage an offshore team for the bulk of design, development
and testing.
Many companies have been frustrated by the quality of
offshore business analysis work. That is not a problem
for Harvey Nash. Our offshore staff is very comfortable
questioning, challenging and proactively pushing forward
ideas. They are highly insightful analysts. The strong business
analysis skills of our offshore teams dramatically reduce the
risk of a misinterpretation of your business needs, helping
to ensure your solutions are right the first time.
Dependable Governance
We stay visibly on course, on time and within budget through
an effective balance of...
People-based leadership techniques which enable/empowerpeople to get things done.
Management and control techniques using PRINCE2, PMBOKor Scrum, depending on your standard.
A C3i (command, control, communications and intelligence)framework, which sets goals, monitors achievement, analyzesprogress, communicates widely and informs courseadjustments as necessary.
Reliable Service Delivery
Our onshore Engagement Manager is the local point of contact for:
Service Delivery: service level management, capacitymanagement.
Service Support: incident management, problemmanagement, change control, configuration control andrelease management.
Financial Management.
SAFEHAVEN MIGRATION APPROACH
Harvey Nash Insight | P6
Assured Delivery
Harvey Nash utilizes a five-phase risk-reducing
migration approach:
Phase I: Due DiligenceTo establish precisely the status of services that
may be outsourced to us, i.e. your Current Mode of
Operation (CMO). It provides the baseline against which
future performance and improvements will be monitored
and is the foundation for a successful business partnership.
It is normally a pre-contract activity.
Phase II: PlanningTo agree on the specific improvements, including
updated SLAs and performance measures, that you want to
achieve in the Desired Mode of Operation (DMO). Additionally,
to produce a detailed plan for implementing those changes,
including milestones well use to validate progress.
Phase III: PreparationTo begin the knowledge transfer process,
which enables us to build adequate domain expertise, and
to initiate the delivery services, governance arrangements,
technical environments, frameworks licenses, etc., which must
be in place for Harvey Nash to assume responsibility for the
agreed systems and services.
Phase IV: TransitionTo move the CMO as is to our SafeHaven
without any disruption to ongoing business operations.
Immediate cost savings will be realized but stabilization is the
key goal, followed by implementation of appropriate
quick wins to improve cost effectiveness and service quality.
Phase V: TransformationTo enhance all aspects of performance
and further drive down costs by moving from the CMO to the
DMO. As the DMO is rolled out, the focus changes to a joint
program of continuous improvement.
Each of these phases is explored in detail in the following pages.
THE FIVE PHASES OF MIGRATION
Second Generation Offshore Software Outsourcing - From Uncertainty to Security
Harvey Nash Insight | P7
Purpose
Separate from the due diligence you need to undertake to gain
assurances about our services, people and performance, our due
diligence process precisely establishes the Current Mode of
Operation (CMO) for services that may be outsourced to us..
Activities
The heart of our process is a systematic, qualitative and
quantitative audit that allows us to produce an authoritative
inventory of the scope, status and performance of your
CMO. The audit is comprehensive and covers current
arrangements for:
Services outsourced.
Demand management, e.g. project justification, configuration
control and fault reporting.
Portfolio management, e.g. business activity.
Modeling, prioritization of requirements and change control.
Program and project management, e.g. use of PRINCE2,
PMBOK or Scrum.
Documentation management, e.g. systems, code, procedures,
contracts and policies.
Resource management, e.g. staff development, utilization
and profiles.
Financial management, e.g. accounting, regulatory
compliance and budgeting data about the costs of projects.
Asset management, e.g. software licensing and infrastructure
e.g. language, database, OS and hardware platform(s).
Development and design processes, e.g. SDLC, architecture,
database and system.
Performance monitoring, e.g. transaction and data volumetric,
Service Level Agreements (SLAs), Critical Success Factors
(CSFs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Client SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and
threats) analysis of services and systems.
The other key tasks in due diligence are a joint risk assessment
to identify, mitigate and manage areas of high risk, and the
production of a draft Desired Mode of Operation (DMO) Report,
which begins to define the improvements to be achieved, new
SLAs, etc.
Deliverables
Statement of Work - the scope, pricing, delivery and
management of all included services.
CMO Report - the audit results baseline to be included
in the contract.
Draft DMO Report - our first cut assessment of obvious
improvements including SLAs.
Proposal including sizing and costing of the transition
and ongoing support projects.
Draft Project & Quality Plan for the transition project.
DUE DILIGENCE PHASE
Harvey Nash Insight | P8
Purpose
The planning phase has two goals:
To agree on the specific improvements, including updated
SLAs and performance measures, you want to achieve in the
Desired Mode of Operation (DMO).
To produce detailed plans for implementing those changes,
including the milestones well use to validate progress.
Activities
This phase is very intensive and focused so we can reach critical
agreements as quickly as practicable. Key tasks are to:
Assess the CMO in detail (technical, operations, people, data,
processes, organization, etc.) using SWOT and gap analysis to
agree what is excellent, adequate, broken or non-existent.
Prioritize all outstanding change requests and fault reports,
and all emerging/long-term requirements for implementation.
Develop the DMO (technical, operations, people, data,
processes, organization, etc.) from the above assessments.
Produce a detailed implementation plan for the Preparation,
Transition and Transformation phases.
Produce the detailed Knowledge Transfer Plan setting out the
process by which we will build our domain experience.
Deliverables
DMO Report describing what the future will look like.
Project & Quality Plan for the transition project.
Knowledge Transfer Plan.
Purpose
The preparation phase has two goals:
To begin the knowledge transfer process, which enables us to
build adequate domain expertise, and to start proving that
capability on appropriate code changes.
To initiate the delivery services, governance arrangements,
technical environments, frameworks, licenses and everything
that must be in place for us to assume responsibility for the
agreed systems and services.
Activities
Knowledge transfer is described below. The second strand is
essentially about administration, organization and facilitation.
It makes sure everything is up and running, tested and ready
for formal transition to start. Together we:
Set up and test all the working procedures, standards and
methods.
Create and test the governance organization.
Install and test the required infrastructure, environments and
libraries, etc.
Complete any required contract work, obtain licenses, etc.
Assign staff and build teams.
Produce a Communication Plan to keep everyone in touch
and up to speed.
Deliverables
Full transition framework ready to roll.
Communication Plan.
Contract Implementation Plan.
PLANNING PHASE PREPARATION PHASE
Second Generation Offshore Software Outsourcing - From Uncertainty to Security
Harvey Nash Insight | P9
Purpose
To move the CMO as is to our SafeHaven without anydisruption to ongoing business operations. Immediate costsavings will be realized and some quick win improvementswill be implemented, but stabilization is the primary andimmediate goal.
Activities
At the end of this phase the CMO will have been migrated fullyto Harvey Nash and an agreed set of quick wins implemented.A number of tasks are involved:
Transfer of the CMO without any change.
Establish a stable platform by a short period running as iswith no change to functionality, agreed SLAs, etc.
Deliver business critical change requests and bugs.
Deliver quick win improvements.
Validate CMO actuals, e.g. data quality, transaction volumesand mixes, for their impact on expectations for the DMO.
Enhance our knowledge base.
Deliverables
The CMO operational under Harvey Nash.
Transition Report how the transition worked compared tothe plan.
Transitioned CMO Assessment how well the CMO alignswith expectations and any impact on the DMO.
Functionality improvements through implementation ofselected change requests, bug reports and quick wins.
Purpose
To enhance all aspects of performance and further drive downcosts by moving from the CMO to the DMO. As the DMO isrolled out, the focus evolves into a joint program of continuousimprovement.
Activities
The continuous improvement of every aspect of operation,from requirements capture to infrastructure optimization, by:
Driving down costs by flexible approaches like open bookaccounting, improved efficiency and effectiveness.
Improving value for money and competitiveness throughinnovation, earlier delivery and better evaluation andprioritization of future work.
Improving business alignment, strategic planning andimplementation.
Integrating business process and application design forseamless end-to-end processes.
Enhancing application functionality.
Improving performance by increased capacity and capability(ask about our Non-Stop Development service).
Simplifying maintenance, and improving reliability andflexibility through technical architecture/design.
Refreshing technology to use the most productive toolsand techniques.
Constantly seeking to improve SLAs.
Developing a strong trusting partnership.
Energizing and enabling our people.
Adopting better methods and techniques.
Deliverables
DMO Transformation Report comparing actual and plannedachievements, focusing particularly on realization ofbusiness benefits.
(Ongoing) SLA, CSF and KPI Performance Reports.
TRANSITION PHASE TRANSFORMATION PHASE
Harvey Nash Insight | P10
We have all the technical expertise to support you but willneed to develop a thorough understanding of your specificdomain before we can assume full responsibility. We havemany vertical market skills but may need to build orstrengthen skills to meet your needs.
We achieve this by an effective mix of training, research,meetings and early value-adding delivery work. The wholeprogram of work is set out in a Knowledge Transfer Plancreated jointly during the Planning Phase.
Induction Training
The ideal first step is for our team to attend the same generalinduction training as your new employees. This aligns our teammembers with your organizations history, values, culture,structure, personalities, goals and priorities. Any specialinduction modules for IT new starts as well as any relevanttechnical development courses should be attended as well.
We can attend scheduled events with other new starters orsessions specifically for our team. These activities are normallycompleted during the Planning Phase.
Familiarization Research
We obtain copies of all relevant documentation (applications,methods, standards, code, etc.), typically as part of our DueDiligence investigations. These are analyzed and an individualfamiliarization program is developed for each team role toensure everyone has read and assimilated all appropriatedocumentation.
The backbone of this activity is reading but for specialist rolesit will include detailed code reviews to understand how codehas been structured, written and documented. Questions,uncertainties and anomalies are collated and ready for followup meetings with members of your team. This research is partof the Planning Phase.
Validation Meetings
These are peer group meetings between/among groups such
as project management, database, quality, testing, architecture
and programming specialists. The meetings allow us to
address any issues arising from our reading/review cycle,
test our understandings and discuss your approach to the
project and why standards and techniques were adopted.
In short, they allow us to get inside your head, understand
your motivations and identify opportunities for improvement.
We also have internal reviews where different disciplines from
our team compare notes and ideas. These meetings are all part
of the Preparation Phase.
Value-Added Delivery
Formal transfer of full contractual responsibility for support,
maintenance and development occurs in the Transition Phase.
However, we seek to begin picking up this work as quickly as
possible in the Preparation Phase because experience confirms
that real work is by far the most effective way to test, cement
and enhance our growing knowledge and capabilities.
Our preferred way to work quickly into the heart of a system
and its code is to adopt responsibility for testing, but there
are many other suitable tasks. They will often be the types of
projects that rarely get to the top of your priority lists, but they
are usually cost justified and often very well received by the
business and/or IT community:
Implementing carefully selected change requests.
Fixing bugs with localized impact.
Reverse engineering documentation.
Undertaking specialist reviews.
Completing technical transformations.
Delivering Wiki functionality.
Providing functional and non-functional improvements
for loosely coupled/fairly self-contained enhancements.
Suitable tasks can be identified at any time during the Due
Diligence, Planning and Preparation Phases. The key selection
criteria are that the work adds real value, presents low risk to
ongoing operations and is appropriate to our growing levels
of competence and confidence.
Open Communications
Finally, we are very alert to the sensitivities of your team
members for whom this change may create uncertainty and
doubt. We work with you to understand these concerns and
ensure that early contacts between our teams provide the
reassurances you and your people desire. We work to break
down barriers and go on to build mutual confidence and trust.
